LM’s HTV is experiencing technical difficulties and a few have basically came apart and/or lost total control.
This technology has a way to go. . .so I wonder, how does one patent an idea that is not technically feasible? Perhaps I can patent "warp drive" or "phasers". . .they are ideas and some research in those areas has taken place, so, my patent application would be on par with these guys. . .right?

How many miles per gallon does it get? I bet Al Gore will use it every week.
